Describe what feature you'd like. Pseudo-code, mockups, or screenshots of similar solutions are encouraged!
To move your site from https://digihistch24.github.io/book-of-abstracts/ to https://digihistch24.github.io/, you'll need to update the GitHub Pages settings and potentially modify your Quarto project structure if necessary.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Update the Project Settings
- Go to GitHub Repository Settings: Navigate to the Settings page for your
digihistch24.github.iorepository. - Change the GitHub Pages Source:
- In the Pages section, set the source branch to
main(or the branch where your site is built). - Ensure that the source folder is set to the root or
_site(depending on your build setup). - This configuration will publish the site directly to
https://digihistch24.github.io/.
- In the Pages section, set the source branch to
2. Update _quarto.yml for New Base URL
In your Quarto project’s _quarto.yml, update the website base URL to match the new location.
From:
project:
type: website
website:
title: "Book of Abstracts"
base-url: /book-of-abstracts/To:
project:
type: website
website:
title: "Book of Abstracts"
base-url: /Setting base-url: / ensures that all relative links, images, and assets will load correctly from the new root path.
3. Re-render the Project
After updating _quarto.yml, re-render the project to update all links and paths.
quarto render4. Push Changes to GitHub
Commit and push the changes to your repository. This will trigger the GitHub Pages deployment and move your site to the new URL.
git add .
git commit -m "Update base URL for GitHub Pages root deployment"
git push origin main5. Verify the Move
After pushing the changes, check https://digihistch24.github.io/ to ensure that everything loads correctly. Double-check internal links, images, and styles to confirm they work as expected at the new root URL.
Optional: Redirect Old URL (If Necessary)
If users are still accessing the old URL (https://digihistch24.github.io/book-of-abstracts/), you can create a simple index.html file in the /book-of-abstracts/ directory with a redirect to the new URL.
Example index.html for Redirection:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url='https://digihistch24.github.io/'" />
<title>Redirecting...</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>If you are not redirected automatically, follow this <a href="https://digihistch24.github.io/">link</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>This approach will seamlessly transition users to the new URL.
